I just finished a book called The Running Dream and it is about a girl who lost her leg in a car crash. Before that she was a track runner and loved being one. Now at first she is so depressed she never thinks she can run again but she is encouraged by her coach from track to at least try to run with a fake track and running leg. Can’t tell you the rest! I want you to find out for yourselves!

I’m reading The Amulet of Samarkand by Jonathan Stroud. It is a great book that takes place in london. The book is told from two points of view, Nathanial and Bartimaus, Bartimaus is a genie and is very funny. I like this book because it has so much adventure and magic, and because it makes me laugh.
